| I am thinking I might be smart to replace my tires I have had on since 2003 when I got one of my Honda Foremans new. I only have 800 miles on it but there are a few plugs in various locations and the rears are starting to show some pretty good wear. Not a bunch of traction anymore. Anyway, in looking around the internet, I have decided they are higher priced than I anticipated! Anyone know a good place to get them for a decent price? | |

| I really don't, ebay is generally where I used to always find the best deals. I think about every set but my first set came from eBay. | |

| I have a 2003 Kawasaki that I bought new also, and have never put new tires on it. I have looked around and noticed how expensive they are. My tires are still in pretty good shape, so don't really need new ones yet. I am like Randy though. I have really not ran across any discount places for ATV tires. There probably are somewhere. EBay would be a decent place to start. Would just have to watch out for the shipping costs.
I am a total believer in SLIME however. I have had it added to both our ATV and UTV, and have never had a flat tire. And I have run them through some heavy stuff. I've pulled nails and locust thorns out of the tires before, and they sealed right up on their own. Stuffs worth it's weight in gold as far as I'm concerned. | |

| Thanks guys! My fronts aren't looking that bad tread wise but I know they have a bunch of holes in them that we have plugged thru the years. About the cheapest I have found so far in looking around the net is from Costco of all places. Will cost right at 300.00 for 4 of them shipped to my door. Just haven't decided whether to pull the trigger on them or not yet. What do you guys think of these: http://www.costco.com/Greenball-Dirt-Devil-6-Ply-ATV-Tire.product.100048847.htmlDo you think they might be to aggressive to give a good ride? | |
